Rebirth: Re-entering the Jianghu

Chapter 21 The River God in My Heart

With the death of the wizard and the river god, the wedding of the river god in this village slowly came to an end. But the people in this village did not believe it.

Their ancestors have been believing in the river god. Some villagers believe that it doesn’t matter whether the river god has a wife or not. The reason why they believe in him is that he can bring peace and wealth.

They were stubborn and believed that the river god must still be there, but was angered by these people, so he hid and refused to see the villagers.

As long as these people who broke into the village without permission are caught and sacrificed to the river god, the village will no longer suffer disasters.

At this time, there was a strong wind in the sky, dark clouds gathered towards this side, and the sky became dark. The fear in their hearts was like a beast about to break out of its cage, constantly beating at the hearts of the villagers.

Due to successive floods, they have long lost the necessities of life. They can only put their hopes in God and ask him to be kind and give them a way to survive.

When the river god is getting married, the village will have a peaceful life for a few months after the wedding. But if the river god does not get married, this place will soon become a place of death where the corpses of all the villagers are buried.

Compared with the death of an entire village, what is the sacrifice of one person? As long as we can find peace, what is wrong with offering sacrifices to the river god?

The villagers stubbornly wanted to capture a few people and make them confess in front of the statue of the river god, repenting their disrespect and hoping that the river god would not blame them.

At this time, the village chief came, and unexpectedly, "He called a halt to this farce. How long are you going to continue this farce?"

If you hadn't killed the twins back then, how could there be the disaster today? The wizard who came from afar aroused your fear with just a few words.

Luo Xiao looked at these people coldly and said, "All of you who fight or not are equally hateful. How can the good or evil of a newborn be determined by a single sentence? You let it go and watched coldly all these years. One day, when the fire burns you, you will finally know the pain.

Even so, you still can't let go and always place your hopes on the river god. Even if the person you hurt lives with you, don't you have the slightest guilt?

They never wanted to hurt others, but why did they become sacrifices for the river god's wedding? Do you want them to sacrifice their lives for your own sake? Is there any meaning in such a thing?

These women finally returned home, but you are full of calculations. The river god is dead, but the river god in your hearts is still alive. He may be released by you suddenly at any time and hurt others again.

Ultimately, this matter is because you did something wrong. After making a mistake, you are using other people's lives to make up for your mistake. This is not right in the first place.

Why can the river god control your hearts? Because you are instinctively afraid when you see danger, but love is not afraid of difficulties. Even if the mountains collapse and the earth breaks, you must always be with the one you love.

As long as the loved ones are together, it doesn't matter where they are, right? Over the years, because of the river god, how many families have been torn apart, and how many people have to endure the pain of separation from their loved ones.

Now you finally have a chance to start over, don't you want it? The wind can blow up the leaves, but it can't blow them away, because their hearts are deeply rooted in the soil and will never waver.

Now that the river wizard is dead, why doesn't he think about finding his wife and children, but instead goes here to apologize to it?

All your mistakes have been blamed on your children. Now there is a chance to completely get rid of the River God. Why not embrace your own new life?

Why can't we hold our own destiny? Why don't we pray to a statue of god for the upcoming fate? Why don't we become people who can protect our children?

Now there is such an opportunity. The platform has collapsed, and the people who brought pain to your life are long gone. By pushing it down, you can find your true heart. Are you willing?

Some of the villagers looked at their daughters, while others began to whisper. After a while, they made a decision and worked together to push down the statue, burying the fear and pain that were weighing on them in the dust that was stirred up as the statue collapsed.

From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes. Everything here has finally changed. No one in the village will regard the birth of twins as a bad omen anymore. Even if a wizard comes again, they will have enough power to protect the ones they love.

No longer praying for God's mercy, they began to farm in earnest and found their true selves in the fields. From then on, the river god in their hearts would no longer affect their lives.

When there was a flood and the water was about to destroy the crops, they built dams in advance to divert the water to the fields and irrigate the crops, relying on their intelligence and wisdom to create wealth.

Soon the place became peaceful and returned to its previous tranquility, but this time the silence was not unusual. Cows and sheep appeared in the village from time to time, and the wild grass danced with the wind. There was no more fear in my heart, and freedom was everywhere.

After the four of them solved the problem here, they received a thank-you gift from the village chief. The thank-you gift was a palm-sized piece of jade, which was said to be the key to getting the Glass Heart.

You helped our village solve the issue of the river god's marriage. We have nothing to repay you with, so we give you this jade. We hope that you can always keep your original heart and not be disturbed by other things.

This piece of jade will not cause disputes in the martial arts world only if it is placed with people who have a sense of justice. Our ancestors led us to live in seclusion here in order to protect justice and contribute to the stability of the martial arts world.

I don't want such a thing to happen to my descendants in the future. I feel guilty about the teachings of my ancestors. I only hope to be here and watch them stop hurting ordinary people and live an ordinary life. I wish the four of you a safe journey and successfully destroy Liuli Xin.

After this incident, I have come to realize that human desires are endless, and they will disregard the lives of others in order to realize their own selfish desires.

Destroying the Liuli Heart may be the most correct approach. I hope this jade will make your journey smoother. Don't worry, there will be no more river gods.

Those two children were truly pitiful. We have chosen a place for their grave where there is sunlight every day.

I know all the grievances they suffered. Everyone in this village will go to pay tribute to them, as a way of making up for our inaction back then.

I just hope that there will be no more such things in the world. I am old and I don't have the ability to do anything else. If they have any complaints, they should blame me. I hope they can live a free and happy life in the next life.
